A friend put this question on linkedin and I found it to be interesting to look at as a job website affects a job seeker, job provider and also the users like us in all the different ways. So why not look into what I\we want from a job website.
My wishlist for a jobsite would include the following from different perspective:
1) Job Seeker:
– Auto suggest jobs depending upon my resume so that as soon as I log into the job website I should be able to find relevant jobs.
- Help resources, guide links for preparing resumes, interviews etc again by default I should be able to see relevant resources according to my skill set and area of interest for jobs.
- Hot jobs, jobs near my location
- Provide some other ways too to represent my Resume and my self in different way that just the convention Resume. I should be able to present my blog strength as just one feature along with some more. This will help me in presenting myself in my own way.
2) Job Provider:
– Job posting, search resume based on skills, projects, experience etc
- Should be able to find list of service providers near the job location etc. This helps companies in choosing the consultants and helps the consultants in finding the nearby jobs opening and companies to look for.
I think if we work on the lines of auto-matching and using some of the present recruitment strategies which are there in companies and take them online then that would help you in creating useful and productive job website.
All of us are searching and trying to set our identity and hence this should be one of the key factors while designing a job website too.
Pour in your comment and views on this.
bye for now but keep an eye here…
